Question

write an expression that is equivalent to $3^4$.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponent definition

An exponent \(a^n\) means multiplying \(a\) by itself \(n\) times. For \(3^4\), \(a = 3\) and \(n=4\).

Step2: Expand the exponent

So \(3^4=3\times3\times3\times3\).

Answer:

\(3\times3\times3\times3\) (or other equivalent expressions like \(81\), \(9\times9\), etc.)
